There's no way to sugarcoat it: in order to extract milk you must r--- the cow and then kill its baby, then if you don't milk them, they die.

The treatment of animals is so bad that b-------ty laws have literally failed to pass because they would have criminalized the whole industry, and that's not even to mention the times when people who call out overt, malicious abuse suffer more consequences than the ones doing it.

Basically; the sooner we shut the system down the better. It's unsustainable and only being held together by subsidies anyway.

This is true.

Cows need to be pregnant to produce milk, so dairy cows are artificially inseminated throughout most of their lives.

~~From personal observation, non-meat farm animals are lean, sinewy and taste like shit. I'm not actually sure what they do with the calves but it's not growing them as normal meat cows.~~

~~Also, how does eating the corpse make killing more (or less) okay?~~

I didn't bring up the morality of eating meat because it's tangential to this conversation.

I replied to the wrong person, oops. Sorry!

I haven’t seen any mentions of soy milk in this thread. I have it unsweetened with some fruit Müsli and even in coffee/tea and I’m good to go

I'm partial to oat milk myself. Vanilla unsweetened is refreshing.
